<p>The <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font> Variable</p>
<p> <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font> sets how many lines 
  are displayed on one screen during screen-at-a-time output. If <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font> 
  is set to zero, the screen scrolls continuously. The ^S or ^Q control sequence 
  must be used to pause the output, and the ^C control sequence must be used to 
  terminate output. </p>
<p> For example, to set the default number of lines output by the more command 
  to 12, enter: </p>
<blockquote>
  <p>PMON&gt; set moresz 12 </p>
  <p>&nbsp; </p>
</blockquote>
